Study summary

This is a single-arm, open-label, multicenter, international pilot study to evaluate changes that occur in 2-deoxy-2-[18F]fluoro-D-glucose (FDG)- and 3'-deoxy-3'-[18F]fluorothymidine(FLT)-PET (Positron Emission Tomography) imaging as a result of treatment with erlotinib in patients with recurrent or refractory non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The study will enroll approximately 30 patients at approximately 4 sites in Australia and 2 sites in the United States.

Overall survival (OS) was defined as the time from the date of first erlotinib dose to death. OS was compared between patients with FLT-PET response and patients with FLT-PET progression, within the subset of patients who demonstrated SD on CT (per RECIST 1.0) at Day 56 of treatment with erlotinib. FLT-PET response was defined as a mSUVmax from FLT-PET scans of \<-25% and FLT-PET disease progression was defined as a mSUVmax from FLT-PET scans \>+25% or the development of a new lesion with a mSUVmax above background not explained by another cause.

Statistical analysis
  • Erlotinib_FLT Responders With CT SD at Day 56 vs Erlotinib_FLT Progressive Disease With CT SD at Day 56 · Log Rank · p = 0.327 (This comparison is for hypothesis generation, rather than hypothesis testing. Thus the p-value is not adjusted for multiple comparisons, and the interpretation of p-value should be with caution.) · Hazard ratio (hr): 0.35 · 95% CI 0.04 to 3.16The hazard ratio was estimated using a Cox Proportional Hazard Model. The hazard ratio is relative to FLT Progressive Disease.
SecondaryNumber of Participants With Adverse Events Due to FLT-PET Imaging

The number of participants who experienced an adverse event judged by the investigator to be related to FLT-PET.

Time frame:
From screening to Day 112 assessment visit or study discontinuation or termination, whichever is first. On visits after Day 112, only SAE were recorded.

Adverse events

Collected over Screening to Day 112 assessment visit or study discontinuation or termination, whichever is earlier. On visits after Day 112, only Serious Adverse Events were recorded. (Up to 1 year). Non-serious events are listed at a 0% frequency threshold.
